I hate to let either of these magnificent drums go but circumstances dictate it's time to find a new loving home for the tumbadora. I bought these from Dario a few years ago, and my understanding is that they were some of Jr's earliest. Matt Smith did a complete overhaul for Dario before they came to me. Honestly, I'd like to hold onto the quinto, but will let the set go if necessary. I wanted to offer them here before going to eBay because I know they will be appreciated. Tumba $750 plus shipping. I can be emailed directly at mormar@mac.com

Those are the finest Juniors on the land, my best set ever. Circa 68/69 Juniors with a complete overhaul by Matt. Here is a photo when I had them.

I always go more for sound than looks and usually play mismatched sets. But, some drums - macho & hembra - just need to stay together. I think this is one of those rare sets that shouldn't be split up. The only thing that keeps me from buying them is that I wouldn't play them enough and they need to be heard.

Dario, thanks for your input. And they have a new home here in NY...
